About Me

I work at CUbiC, the Center for Ubiquitous Computing at ASU. We are developing applications and devices for individuals who are blind. I personally am in charge of developing the iCare BookReader. This device will allow individuals who are blind to have print material read to them. The interface is intuitive and accessible. The process is much faster than using a scanner and our BookReader is quite feature rich. On a personal note, I love coding especially in .Net and C#.
The real story of Patching Browsers
Secunia, a security website details all the vulnerabilities of products out there. In an interesting twist, I found these graphs.
Mozilla 1.0
Internet Explorer 6
Seems like 33% of IE is unpatched compared to 83% for Mozilla. Oh No! Well fear not because that isn't the complete story.
Mozilla
Internet Explorer
So it seems as though the number of faults in IE is MUCHO GRANDE as compared to Mozilla. Of course i'd give both companies a rap on the hands for having Unpatched software. Bad IE! Bad Mozilla!

Maybe it is time to buy a Mac... check out Safari, no open vulnerabilities ;)
Safari is as you say safer but only in a way. Look at http://secunia.com/graph/?type=adv&period=all&prod=1543
They do have advisories and if you look at where the problem comes from, its 100% from remote, which is kinda cool and scary at the same time.
In the security world, any security hole is a serious problem. :-)
On that note, I was thinking of installing a linux OS onto my home PC. I don't do much on there these days. Just mail and browse. I think I can get away with either a LIVE linux distro. Maybe Knoppix or Ubuntu.
